RovinDoubtful. I'm sure Fox News LIKES him to be a voice of dissent, as it keeps their viewers riled and therefore watching. Remember Colmes - it's not that they don't want moderate or left-wing factors on their network, it's that they want them controlled and told how they're wrong continually. I suppose they like to imagine it's them telling the liberal establishment it's wrong or some shit.

ErsatzDo the anti-WTO riots count? Does the ALF?
They don't shoot up Klan rallies, but they're plenty violent. And some people protesting the provocational Klan rallies get violent -- which is, unfortunately, exactly what the racists want.

Hooper_XWhen someone from the ALF or the United Anarchists Society or whoever goes out looking to actively hurt, maim, or kill someone in the furtherance of their ridiculous fucking political views, you will have a point.

Firebombing a Hummer dealership is a dick move, but nobody fucking gets killed.

kingarthurI'd rather have Shepard there, being the lone voice of reason, than to watch the hordes of Fox viewers get riled up enough to actually do something stupid. O'Reilly has his nutball readers and those Glen Beck "We Surround Them" support groups are truly, truly frightening.
